I personally cant. I would love to still be 60 years old and trying to get my head round Final Fantasy 31 or whatever it may be at that point.

Right on.

I nowhere near play as much as i used to when i was younger, but even now i find the time to play every now and then. I'd like to think i always that time. If i ever have kids as well, i hope to god one of them is a boy (Not trying to be sexist) and have some good ol video game sessions with him. It'll give me a damn good excuse to play anyway.

Cutting back? Sure. Stopping altogether? Only if I have my hands cut off or go blind or something extreme like that.

I'll cut back when I need to, but video games have become an extremely important part of my life, and when I'm stripped of them, life frequently feels more dull.

No... but I'll definitely stop playing THIS many games. I will still follow the industry closely and such since I hope to be part of it, but I can't see myself playing every game I'm interested in, especially to completion.

As long as I can afford the 60 bucks or however much it becomes once every few months/year, I'll keep at it.

Worst case I end up just with what I've already got <_<

I'll still play video games when I'm old and gray, but as many? Probably not.

Also, I might continue to play older video games than some of the newer generations. I can definitely see myself beating SMB3 for the millionth time when I turn seventy >_>.

Prob not, maybe less of them. I'll prob raise my kids if I have them with Video games.

I also feel that with most of us in our 20s or younger, by the time we are like the age that is "too old to play video games". It won't matter with stuff like Kinect and Wii, it's become more socially acceptable, and I think by that time there won't be a "too old for video games".

Theres no way I'd ever stop. Even now when I have no money to buy new games I just play the hell out of my super and PS2 games. Nor would I ever sell them. Ive cut back a ton on booze and a bit on food and sold a lot of personal belongings but would never think to sell any games.

It's not that I'm playing more than I used to. In fact I'm playing far less and haven't bought a game since sometime last year. I've just been strapped for cash and don't have the heart to sell my games. It's like a much less romantic version of being poor and keeping your dog or refusing to sell your guitar.

So agree with this.
